Blink-182- "After Midnight" [Music Video]


Their comeback has been a disappointment, but at least this song is a little better than their previous single. Check out the music video for "After Midnight" above. Blink-182 can still do much better than this.

Lady Gaga- "Stuck On Fuckin' You" [Unreleased Song]


Lady Gaga gave her fans a Christmas present this year! A previously unreleased song. Check it out above, here's what she had to say about it:

"So to give you a little background to the creation of this song. I wrote it in Minnesota after the Monster Ball on the tour bus. We recorded it in one shot. Fernando on guitar, Paul on Drum Machine. I wrote, sang it, and freestyled the last minute + a half of the song."

I like this.

Nicole Scherzinger- "Pretty" Live at The X Factor

Katy Perry Feat. B.o.B.- "The One That Got Away" (Remix Premiere)


Why ruin a perfectly good song? I honestly hope this doesn't reach number one on the Hot 100 on the back of this remix. A message to Katy's label? It's getting old and you're making her look desperate.

Kelly Clarkson- "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" [Music Video]


Check out the music video for Kelly Clarkson's "What Doesn't Kill You." Hm, can I ask for them to shoot another video? This song has the potential for such a strong music video, yet this is all we got. Yes, Kelly looks incredible here, but it's just that. There's nothing to it, no story line, no excitement. Come on, Kelly! You can do better than this. Do another video! I do like the end though, where Kelly starts dancing.

Man, I love this song. Check out a teaser for "International Love". Pitbull's new single featuring Chris Brown. I have to give credit where credit is due, and this song is killer!

Mike Posner- "Wonderwall" [Music Video]


I almost didn't post this, because I find it rather offensive that a great classing song like "Wonderwall" has been crapped on this bad. That's all I have to say.

Michael Bublé's Christmas Holds On Tight to Number One

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8e/MichaelBuble-Christmas%282011%29-Cover.png
Selling twice as much as the number two album, Michael Bublé's Christmas is proving to be the Holiday album choice of the year. On its sixth week on the album sales chart, Christmas sold around 301,000 copies which not only marks Bublé's best sales week ever, but also sends the album just over the one million copies sold.

At a distant runner-up place, we find Adele's monster hit album 21, which added another 145,000 to its grand total, bringing it to 4.81 million copies sold.

Justin Bieber comes in at number three with Under the Mistletoe. Selling 140,000 units last week, the album now stands at 673,000 total copies sold.

Rihanna's Talk That Talk suffered a 67% sales drop on its second week on the chart and fell to number seven, only adding 64,000 copies to its now total of 262,000 sold.

Billboard's final sales tally report will be posted tomorrow on their official website.

Matthew West- "The Heart of Christmas" [Music Video]


Check out the music video for Matthew West's "The Heart of Christmas." Inspired by the true story of two-year old Dax Locke, who passed away in 2009 of cancer, the video features clips from the TV movie of that same title, which premiered tonight. I was lucky enough to have seen it, great movie, incredible sad and moving story. If anyone has a chance, I recommend watching it.

American Idol Season 11 - Promo


The X Factor has been a disappointment, so now we're focusing on the next season of American Idol, which premieres in a little over a month! Check out the first official promo for the eleventh season featuring David Cook's "We Believe." The best song off his new album, imo.

The Killers- "The Cowboy's Christmas Ball" [Music Video]


Check out the music video for The Killers' new Holiday single "The Cowboy's Christmas Ball." I like this!

Lady Gaga- "Marry the Night" [Music Video]


I'm beyond disappointed with the video. This song is supposed to be about New York, yet, she spends half the actual music video in a damn dance studio! Yes, great choreography, but that's not what I expected from this video.

The only thing that I liked were the car scenes. I would have liked to actually see New York in the video. There's so much of this city that could have been shown that would have made a great video. What a let down.

Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber- "All I Want For Christmas Is You" [Music Video]


Check out the music video for Justin Bieber's duet with Mariah Carey on her classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" above. Too bad they ruined the song with his vocals, but at least the video is good.
